MATTERS PUGILISTIC.
Sullivan Arrived in MINNEAPOLIS
Yesterday.
The Flour City Pugilist Only VANS
Champions for His Food.

Patsy Cardiff is reaping some of the
benefits of the recent notoriety he has
gained throughout the country by hissmeet-
| ing with Sullivan. Dominick McCatfrey
| and Frank Glover now want to meet him,
and are fairly frothing with Impotence il
appears because he has not accepted their
challenges. Cardiff has appointed his bust
ness partner, John Donaldson. his manager
and agrees to only make such matches as
| the latter approves of. That long-headed
| individual remarks:
Yes. they want to get at Cardiff now, but
| before they wouldn't look at him. Now he
| has the ledge" on them all. l don't think
| there is any use of bringing these people
| here. don't suppose either would draw
| l,UU0 people to the Washington rink. Another
| thing, we don't care 10 overwork the town.
| We would like to make matches with men the
people here want to. see. We hope to get
another match with Sullivan when his arm is
| strong, and to bring Je;n Smith, the English
champion, to Minneapolis. Cardiff Travelled q
| season with Mccartney and knows just what
| he is Glover is man who fought three
| draws with Bradburn, whom Cardiff did up
| in three rounds. Any one who saw Bradburn
| with Killen at st. Paul can figure what Glover
| amounts to-
Sullivan and his combination arrived
here to-day from Crookston and disbanded.
Perhaps another match will be made with
Cardiff The champion expects to go to
Boston, intending to have his arm receive
the attention of a surgeon in whom he has
confidence.
Sullivan's former wife, who draws 500
month alimony, is quoted as saying that
he did not break his arm, which was SIM
ply invented as an excuse to save him from
beating; further, that John once said to
her that Mitchell could have done him up
had he stayed a round longer. AS Mrs. S.
was in Centerville. Il. l., at the time of
the Cardiff meeting, it is not likely that
her opinion as to whether her former con-
sorts arm was broken or not is particularly
valuable. As to the Mitchell fight, it will
be remembered that it was the general
opinion of the New York press that the in
reference of Capt. Williams not only saved
Mitchell terrible pounding, but perhaps
his life.
~
killen is at Chicago now, and is eX-
tremely anxious to get at Sullivan. He
certainly weakened when there was pros
pect of a meeting in Minnesota. After
signing q contract that he should get in
good condition and fight no one else he de-
liberately broke it ard allied to come to
time. Sheedy offered to give him six
round match with per cent. for, each
round he stayed, or % per cent. on the
whole or nothing, but Killen kept away.
Few will believe he is in earnest now.

Jerry Murphy is disappointed in not get
ting match with either Weber or Need
ham for the lightweight championship,
his offer to make match for $500 a side,
with IS per cent. of the receipts to the Win
her and % to the loser not having been &C
cepted. Jerry has been in training for
some time, and is in splendid condition to
sustain his CLAIMS to the championship.
-
Some one should take Harris, the Black
Pearl. in hand and teach him how to use
his right. He understands how to stay
well enough. and seems to be able to with
stand any amount of punishment.
-
An effort is being made to secure a ten
round set-to between McHenry johnson
and Billy Wilson for Minneapolis, probably
at the Comique.
~
Fred King called at the Chicago Sporting
Journal office last week and stated that he
would like to match Harry Woodson, the
BLACK Diamond" against Billy Wilson,
OF st. Paul, i'll an eight round contest for
any amount between $3.50 and 81, 600. If
Wilson does not want to fight for stake,
WoodSon will fight for the gate receipts,
divided as may be mutually agreed upon.
He desires the match to occur in st. Paul,
and says that if Wilson vii send a deposit
to the Sporting Journal it will be covered
at once.
